#dreamswap shenanigans

[fandomsoda]

OH!

Yeah, that was canon

I bet that's where Nightmare got his personality from

He like

"You're so cool, Miss Fae. I'm gonna be just like you when I grow up :D"

Fast forward to present and he has two new besties and they’re constantly on the run all the time fearing immanent persecution by a corrupt ruling power run by the being he once cared about most.

I doubt he expected to end up in this circumstance but here we are

[xhoky]

Can you draw the meme squad doing shenanigans?

Sorry for the chaos on the canvas, I got carried away. I'll draw more of them doing shenanigans when I can.

[ani--chi]

a short video inspired by this old fanfiction

I hope I didn't offend anyone by drawing this...

Welcome to my second account! You may already know my other account, himeofshyness. But this blog will focus on sharing Dreamswap content and some of their AUs. Since I keep having random ideas about AU related. It would be a waste if I don't upload them. So, I've finally decided to make a 2nd account. Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful time here.

You can even find some of my other stories (different fandoms) from these platforms.

"Everyone was beginning to see that something was off about Nightmare, especially Dream. He was acting in ways that weren't typical for him. Even though Dream really wanted to stop caring about his "not-so-related-brother," he just couldn't help it. What Dream doesn't realize is that Nightmare has a huge secret he's kept hidden for a really long time—maybe even decades! Will Nightmare share his secret with everyone, or will he keep it a secret forever?"

Self-indulgent DreamSwap fanfic

General CW for fic: swearing, blood, death, alcohol, injury, mental health crises, cringe

Prologue

Dream watched the village below from his castle. It was sickening to watch everyone fawn over his brother, Nightmare. Dream had cast Nightmare out of the castle as soon as he took the throne, but it seems that it only made Nightmare more appealing to his people. Of course, that wasn’t the only sickening thing about Nightmare that Dream absolutely hated.

Dream’s wings twitched and his golden feathers, which made his wings seem to glow, ruffled. The skeleton glared down at his brother and his brother’s friends as they engaged in general shenanigans and tomfoolery.

“He’s an idiot. A useless idiot.”

Dream, as karma would have it, was stuck in the castle until someone came to free him. Funnily enough, true love had to enter Dream’s life before the barrier keeping only him at bay would break and set him free. As he watched from up high in his castle, Dream began going stir crazy. He’d been observing the townspeople for the last two years, hoping to find someone that catches his eye.

And someone he did see.

Just then, Ink entered the room, carrying the drinks that Dream had ordered him to make. Ink had one mug of paint, for himself, and one glass of wine for Dream.

“Have you found anyone interesting yet?” Ink asked in a mostly monotone voice.

Ink was another skeleton like Dream. He had no soul, so he was essentially emotionless. He always wore a small smile despite this, as his ability and desire to cause problems on purpose was not affected by his lack of soul.

Dream took his wine and sipped it. “It is possible I’ve found what I’m looking for.” Dream points through the window to a girl on the street. Ink’s gaze follows Dream’s finger to the girl Dream saw.

The girl in question called herself Sky. Her true name was Dawn Grey, but she had changed it after a terrible accident that led to the death of her sister, Dusk, and the absorption of Dusk’s soul by Dawn, who promptly became Sky. Sky’s hair was golden with a few streaks of purple through it, and yes, it became natural once Sky absorbed her sister’s soul. Sky also wore a yellow tunic and dark purple pants, brown boots, and an amulet with an interlocked sun and crescent moon. Sky’s skin was as white as the snow that was currently falling, and her eyes were black voids like a skeleton monster’s. Her eye lights were heterochromia. Her left eye light was golden, like it always has been. Her right eye light turned a deep purple, just like her sister’s used to be.

Sky was often observed to be mumbling things to herself from time to time. After Sky absorbed Dusk’s soul, Dusk became a ghost that would usually only appear to Sky to remind her of necessities and generally keep her company. Very rarely, Dusk would appear to others.

Sky was returning from the market with food for her home. She lived in a nice little house in the village. She dropped her food off at home before wandering the town, and that’s the last thing she remembered before someone’s bicycle crashed into her.

She had heard the warning too late, and three skeletal bodies went flying when the bicycle suddenly stopped. One skeleton with black bones crashed on top of Sky. Another white-boned one in a fluffy white outfit flipped over the handlebars and landed on his face. The third one, also white-boned and in a purple outfit fit for a prince, went flying into the fountain, which was somehow still flowing with warm water despite the winter chill. That third skeleton made a huge splash.

Sky groaned and attempted to sit up, but was still burdened by the skeleton that had crashed down onto her. “What the hell…?”

The skeleton on top of her was immediately recognizable to her. Poor Error, with his fear of girls and being touched, had landed (quite literally) in a predicament that was both of his fears in one. Before he could wake up, Sky courteously put Error elsewhere and stepped away.

The other skeleton, the one in a fluffy white outfit, was also one Sky knew.

“Cross, what the hell were y’all thinking?!”

Cross sat up. “Don’t look at me, it’s Nightmare you wanna question!”

Sky then turned to Nightmare, who was simply sitting in the fountain, looking as if he’d rather be anywhere else now that he had incurred the wrath of Sky. He sheepishly grinned.

“For the… meme?”

Sky glared and huffed at Nightmare.

“I should have known you’d be behind this immediately after I came to. I’ll ask you what I asked Cross… WHAT THE H E L L WERE YOU THINKING?!” Sky grabbed Nightmare by the sleeve and dragged him out of the fountain. The townspeople gathered to watch the spectacle. Many girls were giggling at Nightmare.

Nightmare yelped. “W-We didn’t mean to crash into you! I swear!”

Sky dropped Nightmare on the ground. “All of you could have gotten hurt! If it were anyone but me, you would have injured someone severely! You idiot, you could have gotten yourselves KILLED!”

Dream could hear the yelling from his castle. The window was open, after all. There was just an impassable (to him) barrier. He was intrigued by Sky’s focus not on her own well-being, but others’ well-being.

Nightmare looked away sheepishly. “Sorry…”

Sky took a deep breath and sighed.

“Just… don’t do that again.”

Sky’s voice was softer and more understanding. She knew why Nightmare was acting out, and all she wanted was to make sure the people were safe, including Nightmare and his friends.

“I’m going to go before Error wakes up.”

Too late. Error was awake and slightly afraid before he knew how many girls were there. Then he saw all of them and immediately hid in his hoodie.

Sky left the scene and went back home to tend to her injuries. By this time, the adrenaline was wearing off and she began to notice how badly she was hurt. Her knees and forehead were bleeding and she was bruised from her hip to her shoulder blade. She had a couple of cracked ribs and her lip was bleeding too, now.

“Damn… that hurts-! That really hurts!”

Sky collapsed onto the floor of her kitchen just before she reached the first aid.

“I guess I’ll lay here for a while.”

Dusk’s ghost floated casually above Sky.

“You’re not invulnerable, y’know,” Dusk’s ghost whispered.

Sky glared up at the specter.

“I know.”

Dusk’s ghost glanced at the door.

“Someone is coming soon. He likes to drink paint and he has no soul.”

Sky groaned.

“Shi-“

The door busted open and Dusk disappeared. Sky lay quietly on the floor despite the difficulty of not screaming.

Ink looked around the foyer first.

“Skyyyy, oh Skyyyy, where are you hiding~”

Sky facepalms and makes no sound. It hurts too much to do that now. Ink would just have to find her himself.

Sky remembered Ink as the horniest of her old friends, despite his lack of a soul. Someone else she knew came in close second…

Ink poked his head into the kitchen and saw Sky lying on the floor, bleeding, bruised, and slightly broken.

“Oh! There you are. King Dream wants to see youuu~”

Sky glared.

“Fuck off, Ink. I just got a vibe check by a bicycle and three whole skeletons.”

Ink’s face rests on his usual small, mischievous smile.

“Huh. That’s too bad. Guess I’ll have to drag you.”

Sky growls. “Don’t you McFuckin DARE.”

Ink chuckles. “That must be Dusk speaking. If you insist. I suppose I’ll heal you so you can walk on your own.”

Sky lays there while Ink heals her. He’s finished pretty quickly, and Sky is soon able to stand.

“Okay. Fine. I’ll go to meet with King Dream.”

Ink smiles mischievously. “Good.”

Ink offers his hand and Sky reluctantly takes it. Suddenly, Ink and Sky are standing at the entrance to the castle. Ink ushers Sky inside, and the doors close and lock. No turning back. Sky was trapped.

Sky had not spoken to Dream since he’d cast Nightmare out and since she’d absorbed her sister’s soul. Sky was not exactly thrilled to speak to Dream again, but a small part of her hoped he’d at least be happy to see her.

Ink suddenly pushed Sky into a dressing room.

“No sense in reuniting with our king dressed like that-“ Ink gestures to Sky’s torn, bloody, and dirty clothes, “so you’ll have to change. Don’t worry, you have plenty of time before your meeting with him.”

Sky slammed the door in Ink’s face and began searching through the dresses. She liked two identical dresses, one gold and one dark purple, but she wanted to include both colors in her outfit. Sky searched until she found a sewing box and began altering the dresses. She stitched the dark purple skirt onto the golden bodice, and just like that, her dress was perfect. She also stitched the dark purple bodice onto the golden skirt.

A gleam caught Sky’s eye. She turned to a shelf nearby. It held two gold circlets. Sky fell to her knees once she remembered whose they were.

Those circlets, one with a yellow diamond and one with an amethyst, once belonged to Dawn and Dusk. Now that Dawn was Sky and Dusk was a part of her soul, Sky resolved to fix the circlets as well. She got to work, and it took hours, but she used her magic to combine the gems into one and set it into Dawn’s circlet.

Sky got dressed in her golden-bodice dress, altered circlet, and some dark purple flats. She fastened her amulet around her neck again and put her golden and purple hair into an elegant bun. Sky looked in the mirror and had flashbacks of when she lived in the castle as Dawn, alongside Nightmare, Dream, and Dusk. A tear rolled down Sky’s face before she wiped it away, took a breath, and resolved to be strong for her past self and her sister. Dusk’s spirit appeared once more.

“You look wonderful, Dawn.”

Sky smiles slightly.

“Call me by our name. We are one and the same, Dusk.”

Dusk smiles and disappears just as Ink knocks on the door.

Sky exits the dressing room. Her back is straight, and her every movement is elegant and regal, as if she never left the castle.

Ink leads Sky to the throne room, where Dream waits upon his throne, glass of wine in hand.

Sky steps into the room and into the light. Her dress shimmers as she slowly looks up at Dream. Sky takes a deep breath before she speaks.

“It has been a long time, Dream.”

Chapter 1 will be posted soon :)

[ds-defunct-council]

(This is actually a roleplay response but dwbi - all you need to know is that this is Dreamswap with some headcanons/new story elements ekdjdjf)

Dream continued to delve back into memories of his childhood. "We weren't usually allowed out at night by our adoptive mom when we were young. I do remember my brother begging me to sneak out at night to stargaze when we were younger," he chuckled. "We did end up being caught, but I told her I kept him safe."

More old memories, like of when Nightmare accidentally tripped with a bucket of milk when they were seven years old came up. His adoptive mother Faith was concerned about the milk, but Champion - his late best friend and Faith's son, not Dream's current husky pet - helped distract her while he helped patch up Nightmare's scrapped knee.

"Our mom wasn't strict, but she didn't like us getting into trouble. Nightmare never really cared and would get into a lot of trouble, especially when we were teens..." As Dream trailed off, another old memory popped up.

Nightmare had gotten into a lot of trouble. A lot. He had stolen one of Faith's roosters right before they were meant to be slaughtered, and he could hear and see the argument from across the room. Dream was casually playing a game of chess with Champion. These arguments happened often.

A small whimper was heard as a smack ringed into the air. Dream barely looked up to see that, as per usual, Faith had smacked Nightmare, and a little blood clung to where her dull claws probably scraped his cheek as well.

Nightmare had quieted down after that and was promptly told by Faith to go do some chores outside, and Nightmare left with metaphorical tail tucked between his legs.

Champion had glanced over only once during the entire argument. Neither of them were bad kids, and Dream could count on one hand for the both of them all the times they had an argument with their mom, and in all of them they had never got smacked.

Nightmare was just a delinquent that made everyone suffer with his actions. Dream was determined never to follow in his footsteps.

A few hours later, way past dark, Nightmare came back home with his sleeves down. Dream had seen them down more often than usual recently, but chalked it up to it being cool outside.

The candle by the nightstand flickered as Nightmare came over. Dream had been reading a book. "Uhm... Dream..." Nightmare asked as he got into his own bed.

Dream gave a hum in response.

"D'ya ever think maybe that, uh..." Nightmare trailed off for a good minute. "Maybe being smacked isn't a good thing?"

Dream huffed. Nightmare had said this so much they could trade another ten cows. "Of course. It's not meant to," he huffed. "Nightmare, you keep doing things to make her smack you. Champion and I never got hit once by her," Dream lectured without even looking at Nightmare. "Maybe you should stop making her do that, and things will be better for you."

He didn't see the sad, heartbroken reaction Nightmare had. He never got a response from his words - he rarely did - but Nightmare got up and mumbled something about locks and the bathroom, and effectively left their shared bedroom.

(Dream never did know his brother used sharp objects on himself, much less on that same day. Nightmare would have gone to the grave never telling him.)

And within that same month... Dream finally ate the apples.

After recalling those memories, Dream blinked. He'd hadn't really thought about his relationship with Nightmare before he ate the apples in a long time.

Tears began prickling into Dream's eyes. "... I've been a terrible brother, haven't I?"

Vulture, is it true that the Justice Reigns is really a cult?

"... So you believe those disgusting rumors? No, I do not run a cult, I run a organization for your information, nor is it any of your business to try to peck off information to try and figure us out. Especially you with your disgusting thoughts on a robot called.. oh what was it.. -Moondrop?"

Dreamswap is by @onebizarrekai

summary: DS Dream and Nightmare have a brief chat

warnings: none

word count: 1,105

“Muahahaha! Now you have no choice but to pay attention to me!” Nightmare cackled happily as he flopped onto Dream’s lap, limbs splayed out so that the other was completely unable to continue reading the book that he had been going through all day. “I have returned home victoriously from being a cruel and malicious demonic entity to the poor villagers who live near us!”

Dream sighed, marking the page and closing it with a snap. “And what did you do to them this time, Nightmare? Antagonizing them isn't going to help much.” Despite his stern words, he was smiling a little.

“Some of the kids were trying to throw rocks at me, so I pranked them back. It was glorious and you should have been there with me. They leave me alone when you're there,” Nightmare grumbled, a frown appearing on his face as he shifted around on the other's lap, pressing his face against one of the other's shoulders and sighing. "And it's not like I can tell anything about it to their parents - it never ends well.”

Dream thought for a couple of moments before grabbing the other's chin with one of his hands and making the other look at him directly in the face "You're mischievous, loud and in their faces, but that doesn't mean that you're evil. You and I were created together to guard the Tree and I for one, would have gone completely crazy if I didn't have you by my side. I have no idea how the previous guardian was able to be alone for however long that she was."

"Hey! Gimme my face back!" Nightmare protested, weakly trying to get out of the other's grip before hugging Dream tightly and mumbling quietly "I... I'm glad that you say that. I try to ignore all the crap that they say about me but... It gets to me sometimes, you know? It really sucks when they're doing the whole 'we worship your brother because he is the god of light' bullshit too... like. Yeesh. We've known each other every moment since our creation, and while the bodies we inhabit are pretty much identical, it doesn't make us brothers. We're like... And don't laugh at me, I know I'm being kind of ridiculous here... kind of like soulmates..." Nightmare could feel himself blushing, but he... couldn't help but mean what he said, and wondered how Dream would react.

"I think it is because we look similar, that they think we are brothers?" Dream offered, an amused smile appearing on his face "It's not as if we go around explaining the exact nature of our beings to everyone we meet, after all. And I find it entirely amusing that because we have existed for only a short period of time, that the so-called adults think that they can presume to tell us what to do."

"Like trying to make us go to freaking school! The previous guardian gave us all sorts of information. Not that we know everything, as otherwise we really would be gods... Like I'd let anyone have authority over me. You nag me way too much as it is." Nightmare responded, sulking a little as he poked Dream a little.

"Well, given how impulsive you are and the fact that you keep acquiring more grudges from the people who live in the village near the tree, someone has to keep you from becoming utterly ridiculous, and occasionally you do listen to me." Dream teased back, golden eyelights shining with amusement as he gently poked the other back.

"Wow, rude! If they suddenly decided to stop hating me for no reason, then I wouldn't prank and mess with them because of their crap!" Nightmare responded. Also if he chased the idiots away from the two of them, it meant that there were fewer people who were trying to take Dream's attention away from him. Dream was the only friend he had, and no one else was going to take him away, damn it! Not that he was ever going to admit that to the other. "Also, why have you been starting to talk as if you've swallowed a dictionary and several thesauruses... Thesauri? You sound really full of yourself."

Dream sighed, shaking his head a little "If you tried to reach out to them in a compassionate manner, they might overcome their instinctual dislike of you, due to your aura, Nightmare. And I haven't eaten any books, it's just... I thought that they might take us more seriously, if we spoke and acted with more dignity and grace. So I have been trying to modify my behavior so that I might be taken more seriously."

"Pfffhahahaha really? Is that also why you keep walking around with a book on your head and keeping your back straight and trying to make me do that too?" Nightmare laughed, small tears gathering in the corners of his eye sockets, still laughing "Why though? I mean, you can try to talk and move all fancy like that, but it's not like it's really going to change much."

"I don't remember you having the ability to see the future... Besides, it's not like it's hurting anything for me to try." Dream responded back, sighing and rolling his eyes a little, glad to hear the other laugh, even if it was because Nightmare was mocking him.

"Yeah, yeah. It just gives me more to work with in order to tease you." Nightmare responded with a grin "And why would I need to see the future? It's not as if our lives change very much. Villagers show up and I get to torment them while they try to kiss your feet. You hide and we both read books. I mean the seasons do, and sometimes I have to prank a particularly rude person into leaving us the heck alone, but that's not very often that happens."

"I suppose that's true... But that doesn't mean it'll always be that way. It can always get better." Dream responded quietly, wrapping his arms around the other.

"Yeah... I'm not sure how likely that is.." Nightmare muttered unhappily. Dream was literally the only light of his life - and he would have gone as far away from this damned village and tree if it wasn't for the other's presence. Maybe even find these mythical people who would actually tolerate him, like Dream said there were out there... somewhere… "But thanks, Dream. Despite you acting like more of a dork than you usually do, it's funny at least." He responded with an earnest smile. At least he'd always have Dream... Right?
